getting in the spirit
I’m sorry, I can’t help but feel a little bit festive!
Well done TK Maxx…well done.

(sort of) snacking saturday
Please don’t shout at me for a very early Christmas themed post, but I am a planner and someone who likes to get ahead…especially as this is the first year I’ll be working the run up to Christmas and my time will have to be managed more carefully!
The wonderful folk over at dotcomgiftshop (who previously sent me some gorgeous vintage biscuit tins) sent me this biscuit tin from their seasonal range and I don’t know how best to fill it…
What I want are YOUR best festive baking recipes…cake, cookies…anything really…an old family recipe or something new and unusual. Work will be my valiant taste testers!
To make it more fun, the recipe I pick to fill the tin will win a little prize (I’ll pick the winner at the end of November)
Hit me with your best!
Want a tin of your own? It costs a very reasonable £6.95 from here…and you’ll probably pick up a few Christmas gifts too. Dotcomgiftshop is my first port of call when I want an unusual gift or something for my own home…I cannot rate this site highly enough!
Happy Saturday

Presents
Because I love seeing what other people got!
(missing is my Winter Coat, that will be shown at some point and a gorgeous tea set from a friend)
I also didn’t get the rabbit bear, that’s Pie who you’ve seen before, the outfit was a present *still a child*
Has anyone hit the highstreet yet? I haven’t, bar passing through town en route to the grandparents, where I picked up a cardi I’d wanted from New Look for £12. Tomorrow my parents, brother and I are going to Park Street and Ikea…HELP!

Festive Outfits + Chritmas Stocking
Hello!
So..who had a good Christmas? and who was Spoilt Rotten?
*raises hand on both counts*
I think we had the most relaxed Christmas ever, it was just…perfect, really. So relaxed that I forgot to take any photos, but as long as my memory holds out that’ll be rectified today when we pay our Boxing Day visit to my grandparents.
I do have photos of my Christmas Eve and Day outfits though!
Christmas Eve- New Look velvet bodycon dress under F&F couture (Tesco) skirt. I wore this to work’s lunchtime Christmas party where I was welcomed aboard and given a gift of tights from the partners…yeah, I’m gonna fit in just fine there! Christmas Eve was otherwise quiet with a couple of friends dropping in…Best Friend knows me too damn well; tights, marmite chocolate and a Solid Perfume from Lush (about the only product from there I’m not allergic to!)
Mum still takes great pleasure in putting together a stocking for me! She always gets it spot on! I think my favourite item was the gloves (no more cold hands) or the little mouse ring I’d fallen in love with from ASOS.
Main presents included a new winter coat from M&S, loads of craft stuff (ceramic painting and sewing), makeup, nail stuff and oodles of gifts from friends…tights, tea set..the list is endless. I’m a very spoiled girl.
My gifts to people appear to have been a success, which means a lot to me.
For the day itself I wore this dress which cost the grand sum of £7 from TK MAXX. It’s loose shape makes it perfect for festive feasting!
Anyway,
I hope everyone had a fantastic day! Tell me what you got,
any truly laughable gifts?
Much love xxx
